What??

Looks like a riff of the fake online shopping site. Kinda funny that the premise could be legit: All the novelty seeking and exploration behaviour and none of financial burden (or in this case, calories)

I somehow want to make a brick and mortar shop with products with 5-digit price tags and the famous brands, but they're all fake, and visitors can pick and choose all the fancy products they want. They can then go to the cashier and go through a simulation of the purchase of all those products, but walk out with nothing... Or maybe even a receipt so you can look at it and pretend you just bought those things, hah.

"The keys to the Lamborghini Aventador, and a Louis Vuitton bag. That'll be 350,000 dollars. How will you pay, ah with the made-up cheque? Certainly sir!".

Charge $40 for half an hour of this sort of entertainment (or more for a virtual chequebook with a bigger account behind it), rake in the bucks...

So effectively a downtime session of D&D where everyone levels up and goes shopping for gear.

NFTs instead of nothing? equally worthless, but you can pretend otherwise

That would be a fantastic art installation. In some places, landlords allow empty storefronts to be used for art.

You might get people to contribute satirical spins on different trends or designers.

I hope you or someone does it.

Whaaaaat?? In a world where brick and mortar retail has been almost completely replaced by Amazon and a handful of mega big-box retailers there's a market for people going through literally all of the steps required to shop local retail (including spending money)....to end up having purchased nothing? Are y'all on drugs??

We used to call that window shopping and it was free. Now get off my lawn!

That's the semi-real shopping site's fake journalism site. Try to keep up!
